OK, I am first time RC Helicoptr owner, so I have a beginner's question. Now that I have it, do you screw down the helicopter blades before using?

No sir. The blades need to be just loose enough for them to straighten out when they rotate so that they automatically balance outward. If tightened, their is a good chance that they wouldn't be perfectly straight, causing and out of balance rotation. I haven't made any adjustments to mine, and it flies quite well.

Helicopter came with extra main blades and tail blade. Tail blade was wrong one. I changed blades using the ones I bought and extra it came with. None work. So helicopter is trash. The original tail blade from factory install works perfect but main blades are bought separate. I have had two specialist look into helicopter and neither can figure out issue other than parts not factory installed are not correct causing helicopter to fly out of control.

Also I would recommend using some light 3in1 oil on the motor shafts for lubrication! My tail motor burned out... Now I am down till I get spare parts OR buy more than 1 helicopter to rest one while flying the other! You can buy a BNF helicopter for 20.00$ w/o the extra transmitter( just the helicopter) which means bind and fly using the same transmitter from the original purchased heli w/ transmitter!

Take and sinc one first then take the first sinc heli and put it behind you. Then switch channels on the remote turn heli on and take the second remote and put it right behind heli about a foot away and put it to full throttle a bunch of times.... It will stay going after a couple full throttles....

You're exactly right. The MODE 2 for this radio IS NOT conventional. Glad you got it sorted out. Nice flying heli & easy to repair even for beginners.

Good heli, stable havent had any problems except with foward thrust which is an easy fix by simply flipping the switch on the transmitter from slow to fast steal for the price I usedTo fly high end nitro and electric rc helis and planes as a hobby i used to have the 9053 it sucks and broke hence the words used to

The person who answered before me is right,i didn't see anything straight on the helicopter itself but on the contoler you can change it. I had the same problem too my brother and i wanted to be on different frequensies so one controller doesn't control both helicopters. I looked it up and first you set the controller to the desired frequiense(a or b) then you turn on your helecopter and there your helecopter is on the desired frequensie. (Sorry not a very good speller)

No, but since I fly RC airplanes, I have a prop balancer. You can get them at any hobby shop. Some are very inexpensive. I had one prop that was out of balance and I lightly sanded the heavy blade.

Hi,I never had any binding issues with mine. I would power up the heli, then turn on the controller, and it would bind.

With the control sticks in a neutral position, does the helicopter hover steady or does it moves backwards? If it moves backwards, then the controls need adjusting. If it hovers steady, then something is wrong with the controls and I suggest returning it.

On ours you turn the silver ring. This changes it from most to pulse, etc. You may want to hold the jet while doing this.

There is a disk that comes with the helicopter so you can find tune programming already on the controller, unfortunately, there are absolutely no instructions. However, there are several instructional videos available on youtube to help. What I did was order a $24 spectrum receiver so I could bind the helicopter to my spectrum transmitter. Not sure if it's the best possible solution, but it worked for me. As mentioned by other owners, this is a good purchase if you've already flown other 6 channel collective pitch helicopters, if you purchase without that experience, you can look forward to the frustration of steep learning curve and some potentially expensive coaching. Good luck. There is a disk that comes with the helicopter so you can find tune programming already on the controller, unfortunately, there are absolutely no instructions.

Did you try to use the right trim? Sometimes these helicopters are not ready to fly out of box. You will need to do some adjustments which is normal. Check on the YouTube. YouTube got some good tips.

If i were you i would get used to the ones youbare using and decide what direction you want to go for flight configuration... Do you want it to be quiter? Get the tri blades but then you dont have as much thrust... Get the bigger stiffer carbon fiber and you get the lift and thrist and speed but at expense of the sound. Wjat i did was get tje longer regular blades and its a mix of both. Hope that helps. Happy Thanksgiving.

I know it comes with one spare set...but I've not had to use them yet b/c I've been able to pop them back on pretty easily.Also, I've thought it was broken a couple of times and just had to reset the gyros...to do this, you push the left stick down and to the right (bottom right corner) and move the right stick left-right quickly until the blue lights link. After you do this, it seems to level the copter. Happy flying!

Answer here...Got rid of mine, will never buy one of those small helicopters again. Waste of money and a headache.

Yes this is harder to fly than any coaxial or "2 blade" as you called it helicopter. WAY more fun once you get the hang of it. Very durable so you hopefully won't need parts but if you do they are readily available online. I get mine through Amazon (flybar needed replaced)
